New Life, No Instructions

A Memoir

"New Life, No Instructions" is about the surprising way life can begin again, at any age. Within the pages of this outstanding memoir, Gail Caldwell explores topics such as what to do when your personal story changes in midlife, how change starts and stays, how we are connected to our loved ones, and finally a discussion on hope.

A good follow-up to Let's Take the Long Way Home. Caldwell again impressed me with her insights about life and friendship. Her openness makes her writing seem so effortless but I'm sure it isn't. Recommended for anyone who has lost someone close, or who is struggling with a debilitating health problem.
